what type of storm is characterized BY a circulation cell?

Answer 1

The answer is "A" the swirling air is that accures in a thunderstorm is call circulation cell and it sometimes is powerful enough to become a tornado.

Answer 2

all of the above

B is related to A because in order to have a tornado you have to have a mesocyclone which is a large area of vertically spiraling air, usually associated with a supercell thunderstorm's updraft area. Storms with mesocyclones often feature strong surface winds and severe hail, and mesocyclones are directly associated to the formation of some tornadoes.

C & D are related

a cyclonic storm is
a hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, and the South Pacific Ocean east of 160°E, (The word hurricane comes from the Carib Indians of the West Indies, who called this storm a huracan. Supposedly, the ancient Tainos tribe of Central America called their god of evil "Huracan". Spanish colonists modified the word to hurricane.),
a typhoon in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline (super typhoon if the maximum sustained winds are at least 150 mph / 241 kph)
a severe tropical cyclone in the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160°E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90°E,
a severe cyclonic storm in the North Indian Ocean, and
just a tropical cyclone in the Southwest Indian Ocean.

So in essance they are all circulation cells

Answer 3

Meteorologist refer to thunderstorms as "cells", so it is A. You would assume it would be all of the above since they all circulate, but the differentiating word in the question is "cell".

Answer 4

A. Thunderstorm
